Mother of the Lamb The Story of a Global Icon
Milliner, Matthew J.
Mother of the Lamb The Story of a Global Icon Matthew J. Milliner - U.S.A Fortress Press 2022 - 298tr. Hardcover, Illustration 24 cm
Matthew Milliner first chronicles the story of the icon's creation and emergence in the immediate aftermath of the Third Crusade, whereupon the icon became a surprising emblem of defeat, its own fame expanding in inverse proportion to Christendom's political contraction. Originally born as a Christian response to the Christian violence of the Crusades, it marked the moment when Mary's ministry of suffering love truly began. Having traced the icon's origin and ubiquity, Milliner teases out the painting's theological depth, and continues the story of the icon's evolution and significance from its origins to the present day.
